Intern’s Story: Growing up as a first-generation American, Wilson felt the pressure to support his family. He took every opportunity to give back and grow through cooking. Wilson helped his mother in the kitchen, finding cooking to be a favorite bonding activity and passion. He opened himself up to new culinary experiences at school, providing meals to other students. What started as a responsibility sparked his dream; Wilson wanted to work in the culinary industry.
When he was introduced to Sprouts Chef Training, Wilson jumped at the opportunity to learn in a professional kitchen. He was curious about the restaurant industry and the practice of workplace sustainability. His enthusiasm earned him an internship with Slanted Door Group. Wilson hopes to gain a vision for his future during his internship. Upon graduation, he aspires to support his family in a career he is passionate about.
